When I met with some folks from Livio Radio last night, I didn’t recognize the company’s name, though I had seen some of its products before. Livio manufacturers Internet radios–you may well have the products that the company created with NPR and Pandora.
Livio was showing off both of those products last night, of course, but the company also had something new up its sleeve–the Carmen. The Carmen continues the company’s radio focus. The device is an FM transmitter that plugs into a car’s 12-volt adapter (remember when they used to call them cigarette lighters?).
It has 2GB of built-in storage for MP3 and radio content, the latter of which can be recorded using the included radio DVR software. The software lets users grab content from 42,000 radio stations across the world.
The Carmen has an LCD screen, included remote, and built-in buttons which let you pause, rewind, and skip through MP3s or recorded radio content. Seems like a pretty good gadget for a long road trip.
